Watched the movie with friends and enjoyed it to the hilt. I can't stop raving about Iron-man's sense of humor (Tony Stark). Now here's an inventor/crusader without any powers except his grit & wit.

The story has figments from "Thor" & "Captain America". The graphics and scene compositions are completely realistic. The story is about forming the team of supers who can fight against Loki (Thor's half brother).

Can't seem to remember the best parts of the movie except that the fight sequences with Captain America involved a lot of acrobatics. Its a complete kids movie and some one who enjoys watching a bunch of supers with great animation.

The story is about saving the destruction of the planet ! There goes the suspense :)

An Anglo-French Spy saga with each person playing a role in an elaborate game of cloak and dagger set in Europa.

Spy Talk : "Each of us have spent our entire lives trying to find each other's weaknesses only to realize that life on the other side is no better."

It almost seems like the script is based on a book and after a quick search indeed found "Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy" an espionage novel by John le Carré.Side Note :
Could not follow the movie that well since I was working on something while going through it. Need to watch again !

There use to be a time when I could get the movies that I wanted to watch without any ads in between and actually enjoy the movie.

These days watching the movie seems to involve constant channel surfing until you see want to see and then swiching again during the ad-breaks.

A story about a Father who is trying to patch up a broken relationship with his son. He gets his son fired and causes a breakup with his girlfriend only to realize that his father may actually be dying.

The trip culminates at the door step of an old friend. The person who snatched his beloved wife and destroyed his family. The one he needs to get even with and pull his last hiest.

Here is something the father has been keeping a secret from the son in order to avoid any resentment towards her. The father managed to get enough cash from him his hated friend in the hope of keeping the peace between them.

Its a Hindi movie dealing with the topic of Reservations in education and jobs in India.

The entire screenplay has neatly been woven together to help you understand both sides of the coin :
1. Those who resist reservation quota to ensure the deserving are not cheated
2. Those who want reservation quota to ensure the deserving are not cheated

Both feel justified in about their points of view. Sadly the story shows Dr. Prabhakar / Big B's character standing for his principles related to running a pioneering educational (engineering / business) institute.

The final outcome shows how the corrupt want their way and the people of integrity have to suffer.
But all's well that ends well ! A good ending inspires reality ...

The movie is named after the Ford model - Gran Torino, produced by Clint Eastwood.
Amazing dialogue , really Snappy ! Its a total mentoring type of movie.

Its about a troubled young teenager in a Hmong/Vietnemese neighbourhood trying to come to terms with his identity in an alien American culture.

You literally feel for the characters. This beauty belongs to the genre of a mystical mentor/student pair seen in Karate kid. You almost feel that Clint Eastwood'd character is just about to show how to kick box or shoot like an ace.
